Under Construction!
Please post any hummingbird attracting plants that you've seen them feed from, preferably with the type of hummer that it attracts. We will update and edit the first post to contain the list, so feel free to chatter and question in your posts.
**Please note** -"sp" in the name refers to "species", in other words, more than one type of that plant will attract hummers - the one linked to is just one type or cultivar that does.
